[TR] Inflating Tires w/ Nitrogen?

[Ken Gano, home]

Jake:

I was in that business for years.  Nitrogen can be purchased at any welding
supply store and you simply put a tire yoke on a high pressure gas regulator
(one just like on old fashion gas welding equipment.)

If one desired to do this, where would you get the nitrogen and how
would you set up to use it?
